State ranked in top 25
Site Selection magazine has placed Oklahoma at No. 18 on its Top Business Climate for 2009 list. The ranking of the top 25 states is based, in part, on a survey of corporate real estate executives as well as a plant database that tracks new and expanded business facility activity. North Carolina had the No. 1-ranked business climate, followed by Texas and Virginia. Oklahoma’s ranking rose from No. 24 in 2008. In 2007, the state ranked No. 15.

Prices milking are climbing
Milk prices, which saw a dramatic slump last year that was accelerated by the tanking economy, are on the way back up. The price for a gallon of milk could be as much as 20 cents higher by Christmas, a USDA economist said Monday. "Milk production is coming down and demand is starting to improve,” said Larry Salathe, senior economist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "The market is tightening both on the demand side and on the supply side.”
